r PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 27, 1984 PAGE 3 3) GQld Circle Stozes, 26666 Bzookpark Rd. Ext. Proposal to enclose area with fence (Continued from Planning Commission March 13, 1984) Building Commissioner Gundy stated that parking would conform to code as he had calculated it with the inclusion of 22 spaces which will be added after existing fenced-in area is removed. Mr. Petitti, the owner, and Mx. Santarelli, attorney, presented photographs of structure (cashier.'s booth) which will be located in the enclosure and explained that electricity will be brought in on a mast for overhead service. The 30,000 sq. ft. area will be reduced to 10,000 sq. ft. after season is over and the booth, extra fencing, and poles will be stored there. Mr. Bugala, of Leenders Lane, questionedi'f installation of this kind was proper under the code and if a leased area outside the store was legal, and what reponsibilities of the lessee would be. He believes that since part of the structure will remain all year, this should be considered a permanent business and should meet all code requirements, even if it would mean subdividing the property. Proposal does conform fo code and other businesses have similar structures, for instance, Fotomate. Mr. Bugala objected to proposal on basis that the same operation at the Gold Circle store on Memphis Ave. is unsightly (pal- lets, part of old building, lumber, etc. are all stored outside of fenced area); and there is a structure (covered with plastic) on the property which is partially dismantled, and another greenhouse type structure which has been recently installed. Mr. Petitti stated that the dismantled building was experimental and has been sold and is in the process of being taken away and that no greenhouse building was planned for North Olmsted. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised the Planning Commission is not to consider whether the business is leased or not; they need only to consider if this is a proper use under the code, and to determine if the building conforms to code. Building Commissioner Gundy stated that the building would be consid- ered as permanent and would conform to code. Mr. Bugala complained that Petitti's had had a Christmas tree operation on North Olmsted's Gold Circle lot and that the pallets are still in the parking and landscape areas. Mr. Morgan agreed that this could become a problem. Mr. Petitti stated that he has an agreement with Gold Circle to main- his portion of the property and requested that the Commission check with other communities where he is operating in conjunction with Gold Circle to determine if there have been problems. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that if materials were left after Petitti was no longer occupying the.space, he would still be responsible for clearing the area. Mr. Bugala question if storing fencing and the cashier's booth in a fenced in area would be legal. Commission is concerned that materials might be displayed outside the area and.that other items could possibly be stored in the permanent enclosure. Mr. Petitti agreed that all display material would be?contained with- in the f ence and that at the end of the season he would call the Building Dept. for an inspection before leaving the premises. No signage is planned. T. Morgan moved that, in as much as_the proposal to enclose a fenced area for a garden center on the Gold Circle pro- perty is a proper use under the codes, that it be approved with the following stipulations: that the building meets the code under the
